A Scoping Review of Laser-based Visual Cueing Strategies for the Management of Freezing of Gait in Parkinson’s Disease

Key Points

• This review aims to explore the effectiveness of laser-based visual cueing strategies in managing freezing of gait in individuals with Parkinson's disease.
• Conducted a scoping review of existing literature on laser-based cueing strategies.
• Included studies that assessed the impact on freezing of gait in Parkinson’s disease.
• Evaluated various intervention protocols and outcomes.
• Laser-based cueing strategies demonstrated improvements in gait initiation and fluidity.
• Participants reported a reduction in episodes of freezing, leading to enhanced mobility.
• Variability in study protocols suggests a need for standardized approaches to optimize treatment.
